The worst of slaves are those who

We commonly SANDER more

1t is an irrefragable law of mind

Every man takes care that his
neighbor shall not cheat him. But
a day comes when he begins to care
that he does not cheat his neighbor.
Then all goes well. He has chang

These who have no ear for music

A New Remedy.


A well-known gentleman in bust
ness CIRCLES At Bath is smiled at on
the street now. He is troubled with
rheumatism, and his druggist has
compounded a liniment that is sure
cure for even the most severe of his
twinges. On a recent evening, there
fore, upon the approach of his afilic-
ton the services of his amiable wife
and his liniment was brought in re-
QUESTION. The pain remover was
applied briskly and with a vigorous
hand, and as the pain disappeared
new feature set in. The story is
told that his skin began to tougher
like the hide of rhinocerous, and a
curious brilliancy to radiate over it
like the gorgeous rays of the sunset
in cheap chrome. He couldn't
move his arms without the skin
swapping, and if he once held it up
he couldn't get il down again. The
case began to grow alarming. As
founded at the result of standard
remedy, his amiable lady held the
bottle in the rays of the gas jest and
discovered the cause. She had mis-
taken the bottle, and given her hus-
band a vigorous rubbing with fur
niture polish, and his back was up
to the full standard of a mahogany
centre table. The next morning his
good wife sought the druggist to
know if the result would be alinger-
ing death. Her fears were quickly
removed, but somehow the story
leaked out.
